A failure is meant to humble a person...not become pessimistic and not allow others to succeed where you have failed. It's still pride if you don't allow others to surpass you...eagerly. We are to esteem others as higher than ourselves. So I understand why you try to impose your failed...

The bible draws a distinction between a heavenly visitation and a translation or relocation from one realm to the other. To be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. There is a big difference between a visitation from God to us and our translation to be where He is...in His keeping power...

Elevation to be sure. But the bible draws a distinction between a heavenly visitation and a translation or relocation from one realm to the other. To be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. There is a big difference between a visitation from God to us and our translation to be where He...

Amen. Not many will acknowledge this very basic truth about our upward call into Christ.

You would need a conversion experience by the Spirit to understand the bible and its teachings...away from your religious conditioning. You need a paradigm shift to see the bible as it was written....and not as it is presently interpreted in the decoy churches.

And if you don't understand the bible you can always consult AI...right? :rolleyes:

LOL I credit you on one of the best deflections I've seen on this thread. I don't know how the credit system works in that regard.

Pride reaches out to pride. Agreed. The Toronto thing was supposed to be about bringing people back to God who had fallen away...restoring those who were lukewarm and listless...to recharge their batteries so to speak. But people never find the balance....never. An evil and adulterous...

This is good. :woohoo!: You experienced a DEEP cleansing from the Lord. So your conscience was clean and your testimony was alive. Think of this as a kickstart into a daily routine of being cleansed by His words in the inner man. You can't remain in Bethel, or Gilgal...but you can remind...

This is dripping with pride. You overstate your case. Testimony is not pride. Testimony is meant to encourage the inner man in other believers so that they draw nearer to God. All you see is pride. It is no wonder you think I am proud as you are. We see things as WE are. Your pride is SO GREAT...

People will always attack me based on themselves not on me. An opinion comes from the carnal mind. People here are against what I teach because it goes against their opinions. And the stronger the opinion, the stronger the flesh has a hold on them. Who here goes to any depth of investigation...

But the kingdom of God is also like leaven. Spreading a bit of truth here and there can cause the Holy Spirit to convict people of their need for the truth. So it all depends on where you are speaking from. I am calling people to holiness AND righteousness. Most evangelicals have neither. We...

All we see here with a more liberal viewpoint is just a radical counterweight to a radical exclusive and hytpocritical view held by fundamentalists. So it's just one extreme to the other. 1. To the pure all things are pure. The filthy attribute filthiness to others. 2. Jesus saves more than...

I agree. Jesus was perfect and yet he walked among the filthy. So holiness came to us. But to abide in Christ means we go to Him...and filthiness can't enter a holy place. So there is a BIG difference between Jesus coming to us and us going to be where He is. But you are on to something...

Exactly. That's the training of a potential saint. Luke 16 and the parable of the unjust steward shows a potential saint that is NOT cut out for holiness. So he finds a place among the righteous...which God approves of. That's part of righteousness training. God loves righteousness...and He...

I put myself under everyone else. I'm trying to pull people down off their prideful high horses so that they stop insulting the spirit of grace. And these prideful ones just get angry and hurl abuse at me for my trouble. The flesh acts very badly...as it is written. As for your very skewed...

Righteousness is about what we do. Holiness is about God and His presence. Can we do what is right without God's presence? Of course. That's why we have the law and so many examples of people who do right. An example is the "good" Samaritan. Was he holy? Of course not. Did he obey God (even...

Better than that. Speaking as the oracle of God.

When people seek to destroy the inclusive nature of God's mercy on the poor and meek...they cut off their own mercy from God. The extreme foolishness we see here is like a man sitting on a branch who is sawing off the branch he is sitting on. I'm seeing this and calling to the person doing this...

AHA! That's right...no man comes to the Father but by Jesus. But it does NOT say that no one can inherit life that doesn't know the Father. No one here knows the Father. So you all condemn yourselves. Without the mercy of God you are all lost. Yet you impugn God's mercy on the poor, the meek the...
